VLTOR
Overview
The Vltor A5 H3 Buffer is designed for use with A5 buffer tubes and features a heavier H3 weight, which helps to manage recoil and improve the overall cycling of your firearm. This buffer is particularly effective in builds utilizing a rifle gas system, as it provides enhanced stability and smoother operation, especially when paired with .223 Wylde chambers. Builders often choose this buffer for precision and competition builds that benefit from a balanced recoil system.
